The Politics Of Sex: Public Opinion, Parties, And Presidential Elections

In The Politics of Sex, Susan B. Hansen explores trends in public opinion on abortion, gay rights, and the status of women and finds that "values voters" are still crucial in presidential elections, even those supposedly fought over economic or foreign-policy issues. She then analyzes campaign strategies and vote choice to show how Barack Obama made effective use of the liberal trends in public opinion on social issues in 2008 and 2012. Hansen also examines trends in demographics, religious involvement, and public opinion to show how and why the politics of sex now favors the Democratic Party. 9780415870580 0415870585 0 BOOK POLITICAL SCIENCE NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Ul8UnwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
